Paying for a private school education

My story in Sunday’s paper touches on the rising number of families asking private schools for tuition assistance, and those schools’ efforts to meet their families’ financial demands.

In my research, I was astonished to find out how many families currently receive financial aid from our private schools; and while schools don’t have to release tuition information to the media, some did.

Another interesting chart is this one, a history of private and public school enrollment figures from the National Center for Education Statistics.
